*a dozen ponies in exosuits file into the room, surrounding Havoc and pointing guns at her; one of them, a female, yells* "Freeze! Lay down on the ground with your hooves above your head or we will shoot!"

....How does it like to get off your high horse now, eh? Commander Max! Reinforcements!!

*One of the soldiers operating a base cannon at the base points it at the group* You fire, I'll fucking blow your heads off! *A few of her troops burst into the group as well, looking tired from battle and heavily injured. They point their guns at the group as well*

*His bones return into his body with crunching. More crunching was heard as a large white object protruded from his his shoulder. He then yanks it out to reveal a three foot blade that bone sword that looked kinda pirate like. He the holds it out to Viola for her to take*

*the group now points their guns at the opposing group; the female who spoke leads them* You staged a rebellion against the ones who are keeping you alive? You might as well feed yourself to the robots!"*

*"Civilians? Civilians!?!" emergency lights flick on and she lifts up her visor to reveal her face*

You think I put fucking civilians in the line of fire?!? They were soldiers, Officer Havoc, who volunteered to protect The Resistance and knew they might have to give their life for it! I admit, mistakes have been made, but I will not tolerate this! And three hundred? How about thirty, all of whom were not properly maintaining their exosuits! Did you not receive my briefings? The maps are not up to date and should not be relied on heavily. Each soldier's exosuit is to be personally inspected by their officer each month. And the robots are becoming more dangerous and unpredictable. You were instructed to order your soldiers to act defensively, what did you do? Your exact words: Advance. We can take them. Those thirty soldiers are the first thirty to stand up and run.

*walks around in an exosuit; he speaks in a hushed tone* . . . Res . . . Resolution, where are you . . .

Umm . . . *taps her hoof* . . . oh, I know! I can't remember the exact wording, but it basically means that ponies are acting against orders and rebelling against the resistance. *sighs* That's not good . . .

Yes, but only for those who are allowed to enter here. Some of your guards charge too high prices for entry and some villagers couldn't afford it. Ponies down the lower ranks are taking bribery and only selecting ponies to enter with money. Ponies that couldn't afford because of the robots have decided to make a living in the nearby outskirts. It is through them, we are able to get additional supplies and other things. Cheaper Clothes for example. When the robots attacked the area, you ask us to be defensive and protect the main gates. But you neglected the ponies in the poorer regions, how is this acceptable...? Mares..stallions and little ones being killed. Also we were awaiting reinforcements.....and they never came. Our equipment team was also ambushed along the way at 1100H and we had no choice but to mount a rescue effort along the way.

You know what. Forget it. No pony is going to listen to me. I demand to be transferred to the 'Demolitions'. At least ponies there are more understanding than our stupid officer here at AST. Plus, they work independently. And blow up stuff. Why give a damn, when we have to work 12 hour shifts and get nothing out of it?
